Notes on the questions of the faith I’m still living — doubt, trust, weariness, grace. The press gathers trusted voices across the Church’s traditions on one hard question, so you aren’t left to re-invent the faith alone.
Not every good idea can support a business
Friend, Ignaria’s public research app has been discontinued. Though it was a useful tool, Ignaria never reached critical mass. It wasn't the sort of tool people returned to daily, and finding a market to adopt it was both expensive and largely ineffective except when customers told their friends and acquaintances. Admitting the business was a bust felt a bit like a heartbreak, and I decided to cut my losses on the few thousand dollars and probably a couple of thousand hours I'd invested. Not every good idea can support a business — that was true in this case. Ignaria began as a way to study theology across centuries of primary sources, with citations you could verify. Thank you to everyone who searched, read, and asked honest questions with us. The work continues at Resurrection Publishing, where it has taken a quieter form: carefully edited primary-source ebooks you can keep, with no account required. We just published three Resurrection Publishing Readers — the most relevant sections of our editions, gathered whole:
Buy them, but more importantly, read them and reply to this email to let me know how they challenge you. Grace and peace, P.S. — If you're technical and want to keep searching Ignaria's sources yourself, the corpus lives on as the Concordantia Connector: a small local server that works with whatever AI agent you prefer, Claude Desktop included.

Friend, I have always wanted to prove my worth — mostly to myself, but also to others who could provide a mirror in which to see myself as more than I secretly believed I was. This way of living hid below the surface of everything else but was the force that drove every other behavior. To move beyond this self-salvation, I am learning to live according to these four theological principles: Imago Dei — I am a valuable person because God created me in his image. Every human's worth is settled...
Friend, I have heard from a few people recently who encouraged me to publish my essays in book form. And after consideration, I decided to organize the best of my essays into a book: four parts that tell my life story, not always concretely, but thematically. Since all the material is already publicly available on my personal website, I've kept the cost lower than average, to $3.99, so that anyone with interest and a little discretionary income will be able to buy it. The book is You Don't...
Friend,Three in the morning, and I was simply awake. I wasn't worried, wasn't afraid. This has been happening more since we moved back to Tennessee. So I got up and reached for a novel instead of something useful, then my Bible, then a question I couldn't shake. Usually, I'd use the early hours to create something useful. And by useful, I mean something I could sell. I always have that drive to provide. But lately, I've felt a bit like I'm treading water, with something weighing me down. So I...
